Coon tracks
Here are some raccoon (Procyon lotor lotor) tracks. These were found along the side of a Bradly Creek tributary behind forest C on UNCW's campus. Tracks are common near most bodies of water as this is where the raccoon will hunt or wash its food.
Interestingly, the raccoon may partake in gender-specific social behaviors. Males will hang out in groups of around four to protect their mating area from competition. Females are sometimes known to share common areas together as well.
